That's the main issue even with the advent of all these new platforms; that is to say, information that lacks centralization and as such requires going and actively combing through it all. Good idea however.

Sure is. If they follow through with the original plan, the car will be pretty intense as far as how its built and what goes into it.

Nah, U.S. Toyota dealers are pretty much allowed to do whatever they want that way.

the issue with the mkv axles is that they are hollow... many thought they were far stronger than they actually are because the shaft diameter is fairly large, but that was assuming solid shaft. either way, you're gonna break stuff at 600wtq+ when you're hitting that figure as fast and hard as...

^ read the last paragraph in the quoted text above your post :) (also, as an aside. IMO, the new Z will likely be a reskinned body riding on the same chassis with small upgrades and the VR30 w/ current 6MT and 7AT options. so it might make 400hp, but it still won't be anywhere near the Supra as...

Not sure tbh; I never had a reason to ask for clarification (not exactly the sort of stuff that excites me lol).

Target is ~6k per year for NA, so they didn't do too badly given they only had 6 months. I think they hoped they would hit closer to 6k in 2019 due to being initial year offered, but the reason they didn't end up moving that many was more due to supply constraints and dealer tactics.

^ when you drive that back to back with a modified LC, life is more or less complete.

^ My friend works near Corvallis, and he sent me two pictures of two different LEs, so I guess they paid up lol

As said, the Launch Edition is a typical Toyota USA marketing gimmick much like the 1997 "Anniversary Edition" A80 But that said, it is disappointing that there isn't much special about it. They should have gone above and beyond and done some exterior badging and options that wouldn't otherwise...

If it's not stamped Panasonic, then it's not a Toyota (Primearth) battery :)

Its ~150ms on the upshift, but as said the downshift gap is wider. DCT is still faster (generally speaking), but the street manners are WAY better with the ZF, and the speed difference felt is small. A little more development though and there won't be much of an argument for DCT IMO. R35 GTR...

Just like in that image, the Japanese liked that wing. to your point though, I don't care for it personally.. lol

They still have the original molds, so it's cool they decided to do that. That price is also expected lol

I have yet to see one in DB driving around outside of company rentals and test cars. I haven't seen a Phantom Gray either, but that's a bit more understandable I think. The rest I've seen several of in the hands of customers.

Even at 280hp it would still be a mediocre value IMO, but it's certainly better than 250. That said, the segment is super weird like I said before; it's someone that wants a premium interior/tech features/chassis, but doesn't care as much about the added output and/or is forced by laws to use...

$40k for a 250hp Supra is just a hard sell unless you really love/want the rest of the car and government regulations force you to accept that as the best you can do. IMO, it makes far more sense to release a 250hp 86 as the step below the Supra. Then you're not paying the higher cost, you can...

See that actually surprises me a bit ^ But USA and AU make sense in varying degrees of bigger and more powerful is always better.

I'm still hearing no 4cyl for the US on the back end. Just FYI I know we have commentary from some that have attended dealer meetings saying otherwise, but I'm skeptical...

I'd bet on Premium optioned to look like an LE as well
